Nemophila menziesii ‘Penny Black’ Seeds – 100 Seeds

‘Penny Black’ is a unique California native wildflower known for its deep, near-black petals with a thin white edge. The small, cup-shaped blooms create a strong contrast and stand out clearly against the plant’s soft green foliage. Plants stay low and spreading, growing about 6–8 inches tall and forming a gentle groundcover.

This variety blooms in spring and is easy to grow, making it a great choice for natural-style plantings and pollinator gardens.

Growing Notes:

Direct sow outdoors in fall or early spring. If starting in the summer time, indoors is recommended to help young seedlings get past the summer heat. 
Press seeds lightly into the soil; do not cover deeply.
Prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
Keep soil lightly moist until established.
Annual; blooms in spring.

In the Garden:
‘Penny Black’ is perfect for borders, containers, and wildflower plantings. As a California native, it is well-suited to natural gardens and blends well with other spring-blooming flowers. Its dark blooms provide strong contrast when planted alongside lighter-colored varieties.
